Insomnia seems to be Stephen King's attempt at a morality tale, which succeeds with mixed results. He creates a cast of memorable characters. I found his use of an elderly couple as his hero/heroine to be both unique and charming and the epilogue (that continues to follow these characters) is, without a doubt, touching. King's lurking references to his other works also surface here (s0mething I've always enjoyed in his work). On the other hand there, are a quite few times when the story starts becoming rather ridiculous and laughable - not a response I think the author had intended. Over all, it's not a bad read if you have the time. ( )

Another one of my favorite King stories. Loved the men and their auras. Another of the only to make me cry ( )

I do not remember being overly impressed with this story the first time I read it. In fact, I remember thinking it was one of Sk's more mundance efforts. This time around, however, I admired the complexity of the plot and the progression of the characters towards other dimensional levels. I like it so go figure. ( )

Good King. ( )

Rated: PG-13 LanguageThrough some paranormal quirk Ralph Roberts gets a look into alternate view of our world. As always Stephen King is very descriptive, and fun to read. One of the better Stephen King endings. There is a lot of crossover in this book with the Gun Slinger series. That is really fun for me, but if you haven't read the Gun Slinger series I could see this crossover as annoying. ( )
